Systems Engineer I - Signal Processing (Onsite)
About The Position
RTX is hiring an entry-level Systems Engineer I, Signal Processing, to contribute to the design, development, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of radar frequency (RF) or Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) algorithms and models. These algorithms support calibration and de-noising of raw sensor data, detection, acquisition, tracking and classification of objects of interest, and sensor fusion. The role is based onsite in Tucson, Arizona. The engineer will work in engineering lab environments to test, verify, and validate RF or EO/IR models and signal-processing algorithm performance against requirements. The position also involves integrating algorithms into tactical system hardware and software, evaluating functionality and impact, preparing documentation, executing plans, analyzing data, verifying requirements, and communicating results to leadership and stakeholders. U.S. citizenship and the required government security clearance are prerequisites described in the posting.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM major, obtained by the start date.
- Experience developing scripts and functions with MATLAB or Python for evaluation of data sets.
- Experience with the C or C++ programming languages.
- Active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance required before the start date; the posting also states ability to obtain an interim clearance before the start date.
